There's a common problem with the '05-'09 mustangs where the door panel inserts start to fail and droop. My mustang has now become a victim of bad panels. Issues stems from the glue and foam failing. There's lots of videos and info on how to reattach the inserts, but that's not the direction I want to go. I'd like to take the door panels to someone that can change the fabric and look of the panels.

You guys know of anyone that does custom interior work at a decent price? Not looking for cheap, but something commensurate with price to quality.

+1. Cost effective and nice work, based on the headliner he did for me and the projects I saw in his shop.

It was $300 to do our headliner in the Cherokee last year and it was excellent work. He also does vinyl wraps. I had him wrap a faded molding piece on the WRX an it looks outstanding. He will be moving to a retail location this fall in Wake Forest and plans to overhaul the website at that time. He also has to charge tax on labor now because of the new laws.

What's wrong with the 1970s?

Got hold of John and he didn't sound to comfortable doing this type of job. Said he would be better prepared at the new place. Looks like it's auto tops for now...

Thanks Chris and Rodney for posting this thread. I had him quote the headliner and it was $100 less than the other shop and I'm glad to give him the business.
